Program overview
Combine your passion for health and exercise with an in-depth understanding of how the body responds to changes in movement and lifestyle through Bond's Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (pending ESSA accreditation)*.
You will explore the science of human movement as it applies to improving health, preventing disease, maximising athletic performance and supporting people living with chronic and complex medical conditions.
You will dive into anatomy, clinical exercise physiology, exercise prescription, behaviour change, pathophysiology, biomechanics, and digital health, building a strong foundation in exercise science before progressing into advanced clinical skills.
You will learn how to assess clients with a range of clinical conditions, design and deliver safe and effective exercise interventions, provide lifestyle counselling and work collaboratively with other allied health professionals in multidisciplinary teams to maximise client health outcomes.
Across your degree, you will complete 500 hours of placement in a wide range of settings including community, rehabilitation, sport and private practice environments. This hands-on experience prepares you to graduate as a confident, work-ready exercise physiologist and exercise scientist.
You can complete this program in just 2 years and 4 months, making it Australia's fastest undergraduate pathway to becoming an exercise physiologist. Upon graduation this program delivers a breadth of employment opportunities and also a strong foundation for further postgraduate studies, including physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

Program accreditation
* ESSA professional accreditation status:
Bond University's Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (BCEP) has been awarded Qualifying Accreditation Status by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) for Exercise Science and Exercise Physiology. This indicates that the program is eligible to be submitted to ESSA for consideration of full accreditation.
Qualifying accreditation is an important milestone in the accreditation process. Bond University will submit the BCEP for full accreditation with ESSA in accordance with ESSA's accreditation requirements and timelines.
ESSA has advised that the award of qualifying accreditation does not guarantee a positive outcome for an application for full accreditation. Students graduating from a degree holding qualifying accreditation status are not eligible for accreditation credentialing with ESSA under the recognition of having completed an accredited degree.
Bond University is committed to progressing the BCEP through the remaining stages of the ESSA accreditation process and is hopeful that accreditation outcomes will be achieved before the first cohort graduates. However, accreditation decisions remain the responsibility of ESSA and cannot be guaranteed.
Students will be kept informed of any updates regarding the ESSA accreditation status of the BCEP.
